My Happy Day was when Martha Stewart made sewing and furniture refinishing legitimate. I have been doing those things all my life, usually from boredom, or need, and was always patronized or sniggered at. It is really easy to embroider. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s just a better version of those shoe lace cards from kindergarten. Did you know there is a thing called outsider toile? You take a piece of toile and embroider a funny or unrelated thing right in the pattern. I still have a map of the US to embroider, so I probablywon’t be doing Sarah Palin, or Liberace.

i fully embrace the trend of wide, birthing hips and embroidering! i like to embroider coloring pages. it’s a quick craft that occupies me for a few hours and i am fairly quickly gratified. plus, it bedazzles the ladies and steals the scene

I’ve embroidered most of my life, though my style has changed through the years and I no longer do other people’s patterns. Right now, I make little coffins. I don’t think Darcy would approve. As to my hips, they are wide enough.

Coming late to this party, just found your bodacious blog. Did a cross stitch (my own design) that said “Living well is the best revenge”. Framed it, ended up giving it to a co-worker who had just been taken through the meat grinder and to the cleaners by a divorce from the Wife from Hell. He needed it more than I.
